In what year Columbus discovered America, right now, probably not everyone will remember, but the fact that he did it know of any, even slightly educated person.
Back in 1492, October 12 carefully so as not to run against a reef, the court came to the new land.Anchored and prepared all that was necessary, and the next day Christopher Columbus, as well as leaders of the expedition in the face of Rodrigo Sanchez authorized inspector crown notary Rodrigo de Escovedo, Juan de la Cosa, and the brothers Pinzon went ashore.This is how Columbus discovered America.
On behalf of the King and Queen, and on their behalf, he immediately began to open their own territory.Immediately made a notarial deed, not forgetting about any formalities.It becomes clear why the expedition including inspectors crown and notary.After this navigator was promoted to vice-kings, because after Columbus discovered America, he had his own extensive grounds.Set up on coastal land Castilian flag, the expedition moved to inspect the area.And after some time they met local residents.
It is worth noting that so far have not found the exact description of the place where the expedition landed.Therefore, it is not known which of the Bahamas became a place of landing, when Christopher Columbus discovered America.It is known that the name that Columbus gave this island - San Salvador (which means "salvation").
After several days of communication with the natives at the Columbus suspect that this place - not what they were looking for.The islanders did not own the processing of metals, they just do not know them.Technology wheel was also unknown to them.Aboriginal languages had nothing to do with any of the eastern dialects.But the first time it did not bother navigator.They had assumed that they came to a highly remote island from the mainland.But the only thing that bothered Columbus - is that the island was completely spices, strictly speaking, as well as gold.
15 days after landing on the island of the expedition came to Cuba.But here there was no palaces, no spices, no khan rates.Gold also has not been found.Assuming that they are now located in one of the poorest provinces in China, the researchers decided to move to the east.There, where in the opinion of Columbus was the richest country - Sipangu, which is known to modern people as Japan.
November 20 missing one of the ships of the expedition - "Pinta".He's just gone out of sight.According to one version, the captain of "Pinta", which in combination was the second person of the expedition, led by a sense of greed, decided to first get to the gold.
Columbus continued to open new land.Sixth in December it opened the island of Hispaniola, which was named Espanyol.It is worth noting that in translation means "little Spain", and the island is several times the size of Sicily.A little later, it opened Tortuga, which later became the most famous pirate haven.
twenty-fifth of December was the collapse of "Santa Maria", which sat on the reefs.From the wreckage of the ship was built Fort "Navidad", which became the first Spanish settlement in America.The sad thing is that all the "involuntary colonists" died some time later.
sixth of January, "Niña" met with "pints".After some trials, vehicles joined the reserves in Haiti, January 16 have embarked on home soil.Here's how Columbus discovered America.
